Can anyone provide a picture of the current UI? I'm kinda curious as to what I'm going to -have- to play with from now on.

provide one of the new one* sorry I goofed.
The new UI looks horrible and is completely unnecessary if it doesn't fix issues like having too few lines per macro. Seeing precious resources go to such useless garbage over other areas that really need it is mindblowing.
Is there any plans to use the higher-resolution icons for weapons/equipments/items/etc that you have sitting archived somewhere with the new UI?
The Linkshell Community (RIP) used them when you viewed player profiles for what they had equipped, and they were damn nice and clean looking compared to what we have in the game currently.
Looks like someone put up a youtube video showing the new UI: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ahPmIFTiOA
Didn't really see anything mind-blowing in that video. My hopes would be that we have the option to choose to keep the old UI (I'm much more comfortable using the gamepad as I began FFXI on the PS2 and still play from my 360 occasionally) and that we can have at least 2 seperate chat boxes present. I'd very much like to be able to filter all the system messages / battle spam into a seperate window from my actual chat such as LS / Party etc.
You can pick to have either old, or new, no mix, and no being forced. They have been saying that for a long time now, nothing has changed as they even said it recently as well...
I'm not sure how possible or realistic it would be but it would be nice to be able to condense a full equipment swap macro into a single line. Like being able to create a few gear sets and then reference that gear set in a single macro line and include this with the new UI upgrade. Food for thought if no one has thought of it yet.
People have suggested it, but it's still a good idea.
To be able to equip all your RDMEnfeebling gear, save it as "RDMEnfeeb" and then your paralyze macro would look like
/equipset "RDMEnfeeb"
/ma "Paralyze" <t>
/wait 1
/equipset "RDMIdle"
Just looking at the new UI info (I browsed the new UI system on the forum) It looks promising. It's fantastic that you have gotten it out this early for us to look at and I look forward to any improvements you implement. This is mainly as I enjoy playing on the PC versus my Xbox. Although, I do enjoy doing battles with my controller everything else I also enjoy doing mouse and keyboard so in the long run when I get a PC this is win win. Ganbatte!
